Change Your Hospital

Has anyone started with one hospital/center, found out it wasn't a fit for your plans and switched to another? If so, did you have to go back to the beginning or were you given credit for past accomplishments? I'm running into a roadblock with my current program and wondering. whether to stick it out or cut ties. [emoji22] Thank You

You can also ask the original bariatric program for a copy of your original pysch evaluation. During my pre-op with the surgeon, we went over ALL of the tests he ordered -- they were stacked right there on the table, and a written (and surprisingly long) psych eval report was there, too.

Then go to your new center, and sign a form releasing your medical records. You have a right to look that the psych report and to find out why she said one thing and did another.

I'm so so sorry this is so hard!! ((hugs))

The center I went to uses two different hospitals. One in network the other out. They asked me which one I wanted to use. I said dumb question I have to use the in network hospital otherwise I cannot afford to have surgery. Duh! Lol
